I just saw that article the other day, actually. It was amusing, mostly because it's so true. :p

I think the reason you might not hear it at Sunday School or church is because it'd not exactly life-coaching material. Much of what it preached in churches and schools has some connection to the way people live their lives: do this, don't do that, etc. Perhaps Revelation's only "moral" is the idea of overcoming an offensive power and arriving at a sense of peace and freedom, but it's all blurred by the fantastical descriptions so it's just not the sort of thing one would base a sermon around.
Mm, well, I wasn't sure if it was just my faulty memory or not, since I haven't been to a church in over ten years. But that makes sense, for the most part. I'd question why it's included in the Bible at all, but... there are a few other pieces in line ahead of Revelation jockeying for that question.

I took Philosophy of Religion in my third semester of college, but my professor was really keen to avoid any sort of religious debates that could lead to arguments, so we never really got to delve into the gritty details. We mostly learned logic and proofs and arguments, which was... not as interesting, to me. I'm considering taking another such class now that I'm out of community college.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
